When the Oxygen Network first began it was supposed to be TV for women by women…for crying out loud Oprah (THE Queen of all women) put her name and seal of approval on it!

Then I guess the powers that be started to realize that certain shows were gaining more of an audience than others. Shows that displayed the other side of women like “The Bad Girls Club”—where women behaved less like ladies and more like community college sorority girls who NEVER went to class. It seemed the crazier and more outrageous the girls – the higher the viewership. Then, shows like “Hair Battle Spectacular” and “House of Glam” came to air – less physical fighting but still the spin of drama, fashion and flair. Fine. Fair enough. They also had the GREAT idea to combine Biggest Loser with So You Think You Can Dance. How can you go wrong there!? Fat people who are having to literally Dance Their Asses off to stay in the game. Brilliant! But then came the crown jewel of Oxygen Networkl programming. They tapped into the hearts of women all across America with Snapped!. Their CORE audience: women who if they could lose their shit on their spouse or ex would—but they have better sense not to. We (I include myself ‘cause I can’t not watch this series) stopped, watched and even DVR’d. Say what you will about it- it’s sad, it reflects poorly on our current society, it sets a bad example for other women- I for one beg to differ! Nobody who’s featured on snapped is getting away with anything!!! All these crazy bitches have to pay the price for their lapse in judgment and self-control. I think this show should be lauded for serving as an example of what can happen to you when you let your hormones and overzealous imagination get the best of you. So just do what I do and live vicariously through the women who “snapped” then pull yourself together and go on with the rest of your life. Sidenote: I still don’t understand why Dove chocolates and Tampax aren’t the only sponsors for this program. Seems so fitting. As you can see I’m a BIG fan of Oxygen- HUGE! But recently I heard something that made me shake my head in Scooby-doo-what-there’s-no-more-Scooby-snacks fashion and say “Rhut!?” Words from the blogosphere and entertainment news have it on best authority that Paris Hilton will be getting her own reality show on yes, you guessed it—The Oxygen Network!

This is the same Paris Hilton who went from being a quasi-respected member of a socialite family to a sex tape scandal star. Who when she lost her dog—was putting up $10,000 dollar reward posters all over Beverly Hills for Tinkerbell the Chihuahua; then remembered she’d left her at her grandmother’s house!!! This is the same Paris Hilton who was arrested for driving under the influence- but spent less time in jail than she’s spent collectively under a tanning bed!!! The same Paris Hilton who just pleaded guilty for cocaine possession and lying to a police officer!!! WTF Oxygen REALLY?!! REALLY??!! This crazy bitch who has absolutely NOTHING to offer society gets a show? Are you serious?!! Tori Spelling has more redeeming qualities in her right ankle than this clown! Here’s the deal! I’m woman enough to admit when I’m jealous. This tirade has nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with feeling like a serious line has been crossed in society and the media. I am sick and frappin’ tired of seeing people (esp. rich people) continue to get richer and rewarded for lacking character and value. There are too many interesting talented people who can actually be fun to watch and not the worst example of what bad parenting, too much money and having no scruples has to offer.

I happen to know an adorable funny smart respectable comedian – who by the way knows where her Chihuahua is right now – who’d be more than willing to lead a reality show for you.
